| Testing Commerce Server 2002 and have the following questions I was
hoping someone could answer... They are all related to Profile component.
1) If I have an application running on a separate server (that does not
have Commerce Server installed on it), can it (this application) use the
OleDB Provider for Commerce Server to query (update and insert into as
well) the profile system, which aggregates attributes from Active
Directory and SQL Server? If so, the server name in the connection
string, is it the SQL server holding the CS profile database or a Web
Server with Commerce Server installed on it? I am assuming the purpose
of this OleDB Provider is to access the Profile from outside of the web
app.?
2) How can I configure profile to use only AD and not SQL server (by
default "retail" solutions site uses SQL only, and "SupplierAD"
solutions site uses AD and SQL ).
3) Where can I get a sample code for login.asp that includes just the
pieces for authentication and not other pieces related to catalogs,
campaigns, etc (again the "retail" and "supplier" solution sites come
with tons of code that is not relevant to profile - I tried stripping it
out but had no much luck + it's time consuming).
4) What is the replacement for SiteServer's "Membership" object?
Couldn't find any info on the mapping of SiteServer's API to Commerce
Server.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks!
